NFL Power Rankings, Week 11: Titans shock Patriots, Chargers keep rolling
By Dan Parzych
24. Denver Broncos (20)
The bye week couldn’t have come at a better time for the Denver Broncos when looking at how this season has quickly gone downhill following the team’s 2-0 start, with the offense being the main reason behind their struggles once again. Just when it seemed like the Broncos seemed to have finally found the quarterback they’ve been looking for since Peyton Manning retired, Case Keenum hasn’t really been anything to brag about during his first season with the team.
To make things even more challenging, Denver made the decision before the trade deadline to part ways with one of their top receivers in Demaryius Thomas after sending him to the Houston Texans. Sure, the Broncos have a few other options like Emmanuel Sanders for Keenum to work with, but when seeing the struggles on offense in general, this was quite the questionable move by the organization.
With six losses in seven games, Denver doesn’t look like they’re going to win anytime soon either since their next two games happen to be against the Los Angeles Chargers and Pittsburgh Steelers. Anything can happen when it comes to the NFL, but it’s safe to assume the Broncos will be finishing this season below .500 once again.
